Inspired By All The Little Things #79 Featuring Dana Seymour

Hello Veronica here and welcome to Inspired ByAll The Little Things! This is abi-weeklyinspiration challenge blog and each month we feature a wonderful designer who inspires us as an artist! It's February and that means it is time to get your pink and red ink! This is the inspiration I chose for our bi-week challenge:

SO many possibilities!

I invited someone I've admired for many years, her cards are so beautiful and perfectly balanced, Dana Seymour!

4. What sort of things inspire you as a card maker? Photos? Sketches? Other designers?

I can find inspiration just about anywhere. Sometimes in nature, frequently in cloth/material designs, and always on Pinterest.

I enjoy working with sketches or color swatches as well as images.

5. Share something about yourself that we may not know?

I'm a real foodie and a passionate cook. I always have something creative happening in my kitchen. As a vegetarian for the past 23 years I've inspired many palates with an array of vegetables and grains. In college I started my own catering company and was busy nearly every weekend. Even now, outside of my regular job, I cater weddings and other large events a few times a year for special requests.

From Dana, "There is something about old bicycles that just warms my heart...pun intended. And I guess you can see I was inspired by the colors; that red polka dot package tied with the green ribbon and the touch of brown from the basket jumped out at me."Here is the card I created for the challenge:

I was inspired by the brick wall, polka dots, and the bicycle!

The challenge designers have also created a card for this week's inspiration! These ladies just inspire me SO much!!! I hope you will play along with us this week! We would love to have you join us!
